My First Day of School

My Mom’s old typewriter is decorating my new website!

I feel like this is my first day of school on planet Pleione, a sizzling
planet from my novel, The Levitation Game. I’m not in Kansas anymore. WordPress
is weird.

I need to learn WordPress because my suitcase is packed, and I have already
given notice to my long-term love, blogger. Blogger, you’ve been my easy,
comfortable, familiar photo-sharing and keyboard travel connection for over a
decade. You will be missed.

But it isn’t all bad; I have a book to birth. That’s heady stuff. I’m
unpacking Sharon’s Souvenirs here at Sharon Wagner Books, and don’t worry; my
blog will still follow my traveling feet more than my book. Sadly, I don’t
think my link party will continue.

Eventually, I will have an optional newsletter for subscribers to inform
them of my impending book launch; a once a month highlight reel of events, and
such. This way, Sharon’s Souvenirs won’t resemble an author’s Instagram
account, where every image is a selling-point still-life with a book, a book and
a coffee cup, or book and a dog, and so on. I hate that kind of relentless
promotion.

However, since I don’t have a newsletter yet, I must expel more fun news
that’s simmering inside my pot of posole. Soon, I’ll be awarding free
Conspiracy Theory games to several lucky email subscribers. I’m thrilled to be pairing
with Neddy Games since one of my novel’s protagonists is a whimsical alien that
loves playing gravity-defying games. Thanks for the perfect promotional pairing
Neddy! Plus, all my subscribers will receive a discount code for purchasing
Conspiracy Theory. It’s a fun, family game for anyone interested in little green men
and beyond.

Next week, I will return to regular travel programming, even if I am swaying
slightly out of control on this wild WordPress learning curve. Thank you for
following me to my new website. It’s a whole new game. Stay tuned…

And please let me know if you like my new site!
